Watching the Quiz Bowl

Despite a valiant comeback Mont Alto lost to Allegheny College of Maryland, 50 to 85. Allegheny went on to win the event.

The theme of the meeting was Changing Forest Dimensions and included a wide variety of presentations about the changing nature of forestry in the Mid-Atlantic region. Follow this link to the Allegheny SAF web page.

Pine Grove Furnace is now a State Park. It is north of Mont Alto along Rte. 233. It is amazing how much good the CCC projects did in a time of great adversity. We owe these young men a debt of gratitude!
